June Update!

We're officially done with the apprenticeship! It's pretty crazy, but I'm super excited to see what God does with us all next year.

We did something new this year. While half of our staff was at May SICM (Student Institute of Campus Ministry - the week long conference in Washington state), we hosted a Bible boot camp. Here, the students spent an entire week, 9-6 from Monday til Friday, reading and discussing the Old Testament. It was so neat! There were about 11 UTD students who showed up consistently throughout the week, and at the end of it, we had a lunch together and celebrated our new Biblical literacy. We hope to actually do another one in July with the New Testament, so I would love prayer that students continue to show up and that God blesses it!

Our Bible Boot Camp fam

On May 30th and 31st, to wrap up the apprenticeship, all of the apprentices this year gave sermons about our biggest takeaways. It was a pretty neat way to see how God had moved in and changed all of us throughout the year. I would love to share mine with you, so as soon as the video is ready to go, I'll send it out in my next update. 

Finally, as we wrapped up the year, I've moved into a season of raising support, as I'm sure most of you know. Just by way of an update, I'm at about 50%, which is not a bad place to be at the start of the summer! But I do have a ways to go if I want to continue doing what I'm doing, so if you all could pray, and please let me know if you're aware of anyone else looking to give somewhere, I would very much appreciate it!   

Thanks so much for your prayers and support. I'm very grateful for everyone who reads through my updates and prays.

April updates

Another month has come and gone, and we're almost finished with the school year! It's crazy to me how fast it's flown by. This month, I wanted to ask you to pray for some of the girls in my core. I won't share their names, but I would love it if you could take the time to pray for them individually. The first girl has been a consistent figure in our core all year. She is super friendly and has made an effort to get a lot more involved in the broader FOCUS community this year. Unfortunately, she's really been struggling with depression and anxiety and at times, it's really hindered her ability to be involved. I'd love prayer that God just completely takes away that burden from her. The second one is studying Focus on Jesus (our one-on-one Bible study) with me. She asks great questions and is amazingly teachable, and we're almost finished with the study! She has also been super faithful in coming to core, but is learning how to balance spending time wi

Final ministry update!

Some of the beautiful ladies I got to work with this year Full disclosure, this is at the beginning so that the blog thumbnail is not my face. My ministry update this month comes both in a video and written format. They essentially say the same thing so take your pick. I wanted to save this update for later, because it's my very last one. I've got two weeks left with FOCUS, and then I'm heading off to grad school in the fall! Thank you guys so much for the prayers and support over the last two years. It's been amazing. There are at least a million things I could reflect on looking back at my time with FOCUS, but there are these two connected themes I felt like he specifically wanted me to share: trust and surrender. Last year at this time, I was dead set on campus ministry being a long term job. I had visions of great things I was gonna do for God, and I was really excited. And if you know me, you know I'm very task oriented. I like to set goals and
